ECHA reports to the Commission on the operation of the RE ACH and CLP Regulations and on non-animal testing

ECHA is providing two important reports to the European Commission that signal how the REACH and CLP Regulations are working in practice.One of the reports is a broad based report covering the operation of the REACH and CLP Regulations thus far and contains follow up actions to improve their workability.

The second focusses on the status of the implementation and use of non-animal test methods and testing strategies.The legal basis for the reports is laid down in the REACH Regulation, Article 117, and the Agency is obliged to submit these reports regularly – every five years for the operational part and every three years for the non-animal testing. The reports are provided firstly to the Commission as drafts for their possible feedback. They will be finalised and published on the ECHA website by the end of June.
